The dark area on the right does not match in tone to the rest of the image, it looks too blue and does not add anything to the mood or composition. You'd be better off cropping the sides and reducing the fireworks' bokeh effect to squeeze it back into the image.

Just a wee bit too dark behind his legs - It looks like there is a square shadow being cast onto the tail area. The feet are also a bit odd colored. Perhaps a light application of the Dodge Tool to bring up their contrast a bit?

Initially I thought after looking at step 7 that the area under the foot of the eagle is too bright.so i decided to make it darker, but apparently it makes everything look a mess. Thank you so much Mossy, for your input, I'm very happy to get any input from all friends , and I'll learn a lot from here.

CMYK46,what you say is true, if I stop at step 7 of course the result is definitely better than this.thank you for always giving me comment and input.about the eagle, finally someone came to take it from our home.i thought it was better because I am scared of the eagle.my hands bleed when I tried to touch his feathers

Oh, it's not wise to try to touch wild birds, especially babies, the mother will abandon them if they smell humans. You did get a fantastic shot, tho - he posed for you! Not a mess at all, step 7 lighting fine, but final image works, too.
